Man City Temporarily Rose to 3rd Place After a Thrilling Victory Over Aston Villa
The nature of this confrontation was no different from a “life and death match”, so both teams entered the match with great determination. Silva opened the scoring for Man City early, but Aston Villa quickly equalized from the 11m mark by Rashford. The match was quite tense and the referee had to show 7 yellow cards, including one to coach Pep Guardiola for his overreaction.
Man City were “failed” to celebrate in the 80th minute when Marmoush’s goal was disallowed. The home team only really burst into emotion when Nunes scored the winning goal in the 90+4th minute. This goal was worth “ten gold” because Man City was almost at risk of being dropped out of the Top 5.
If they were held to a draw, Man City would only have 59 points, and Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Chelsea could push them down to 6th place after round 34.
However, Pep Guardiola’s team successfully overcame difficulties to get 61 points and temporarily rise to 3rd place on the rankings.
Man City’s victory also puts pressure on the remaining teams competing for the Top 5. Interestingly, all three remaining teams are playing at home.
Chelsea host Everton (6:30 p.m., April 26), Newcastle meet Ipswich Town (9 p.m., April 26) at St. James’ Park, and Nuno Santo’s team host Brentford (1:30 a.m., May 2).
Meanwhile, Aston Villa fell behind the other four teams after this defeat, continuing to have 57 points. The ranking of Unai Emery’s team will also remain unchanged because the team behind them is unlikely to overcome them.
However, the dream of the Champions League for the second consecutive season is seriously affected.
